*****Secret to Knowing the Lord*****

        When I was majoring in mathematics in college, the home work usually involved proving theorems. Once I was given a really difficult one to prove, I racked my brain so hard until finally I got a glimpse of the solution at the limit of my perception and quickly jotted it down before it faded away. That was exciting but exhausting. By contrast, this morning at Mass I simply remained open and the Lord unexpectedly gave me an insight which remained with me. That was exciting and uplifting.
           Here's what I saw. We don't know God because basically we don't want to know him. If we really want to know him without questioning, we'll know that he is indeed our God. It works out this way because you are open to truth.
